Austria's audience loves Germany: 12 points for the Viennese duo!
The 69th Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) 2025, which took place from May 13th to 17th in Basel, St. Jakobshalle, caused a lot of excitement and strange results. After the final, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) published the detailed results of the audience voting. What was remarkable was that JJ's Austrian entry never received 12 points from the audience, while the Austrian expert jury awarded the highest number of points to Finland.
As part of the competition, the votes from the jury and audience each received a weighting of 50 percent. The Austrian audience rewarded the Viennese duo Abor & Tynna from Germany with the full score of 12, followed by Italy with 10 points and Estonia with 8 points.

In contrast, the Austrian jury awarded the 12 points to Finland and placed Malta and Denmark in second and third place.
The jury and their evaluation
The ESC's evaluation mechanisms are clearly structured: a jury of five experts from each participating country, who must be citizens of the respective country, evaluates the entries. This ensures that professional opinions are taken into account when awarding points. The rules for the competition are set by the EBU, including the stipulations that voting cannot be done for one's own country and the entry must be an original song that has not previously achieved commercial success.
This year, Switzerland will be represented by Zoë Më with the song “Voyage”. The selective process of selecting entries included 431 submitted songs, from which the final entry was selected by a combination of national and international audience juries as well as an expert jury. The selection process was carried out in cooperation with YouGov Switzerland.
A total of 37 countries took part in the ESC 2025, one of Europe's traditionally most exciting music events. Viewers from non-participating countries were able to vote via paid online voting, which further increased the reach and interest in the competition. The event has been running since its inception in 1956, and the ESC has grown into a cultural phenomenon over the years.
